Why does anybody give a budget for a bad movieflick?

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2003)

The film is done pretty well, camera, directing, set, acting, etc. No complain about the handyman-part of it.
But what I don't understand is the lack of logic and inspiration in the whole story. And that really - sorry - p***ed me off, cause I felt treated like bloody fool!
Few Examples:
1. London's a estimated 4.5Mio peoples city. Where are the corpses and all the cars? All evacuated? Vanished away? What? Later in the film people were climbing over mountains of corpses but none to see at the beginning? Uhuhuh...
2. There should be no electricity. But obviously there are some windgenerators shown in the movie later on.
3. There is a band of soldiers who survived all by themselves. Is that believable, that this one unit has survived, build there fort but there should be no others left to be contacted? No CB, no radio, nothing?
4. Why are the infected people just going for the non-infected? The virus claimed to be a virus of anger, why not kill anything in the way?
5. When the whole towns are deserted, why go with knives and baseballclubs? What about some nicy spicy pumpguns from your next police-station, weapondealer or military base?
6. Why are the protagnonists WALKING to Jims parents house? No more cars and gasoline there? As we later see this isn't the case..
and so on, and so on, and so on,... not to mention the predictable and absolute nonsense ending of the film. Seems to be dictated by the test-screenings. Buah!
So, if you'll like to see the better of post-doomsdayfilms go and try something like 'Omegaman' or 'The day the earth stood still'.
All in all it was a waste of time.
